\"\"<\/a>The corruption in South Africa is so bad, it\u2019s like a noxious fog that has settled on a once peaceful, prosperous, and prejudiced nation. South African\u2019s President Cyril Ramaphosa (left) is being pilloried, pulled, and pushed from many sides, and many of the political players are more radical than he. He is busy trying to stay in power and get reelected later this year, but he has to deal with many warring factions inside and outside the African National Congress (ANC), plus the murder for hire of wayward members and multiple acts of sabotage in many major cities. Everyone seems to carry guns or has bodyguards even low-level provincial (state) leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ANC no longer stands for African National Congress but for Accumulation, Nepotism, and Cronyism.\u00a0Corruption<\/em>\u00a0is one of the most used words by South Africans. Of course, this does not surprise anyone since one-party rule always results in cronyism, chaos, and corruption.<\/span><\/p>\n

The corruption is ubiquitous, especially in the ANC, the political party that has been controlled by Communists from its earliest days and has governed South Africa since the end of the white minority government in 1994.\u00a0The ANC is infamous for sabotage in earlier years and now that there are many factions within, it has returned to sabotage plus assassinations\u2014of longtime comrades.\u00a0It is now a fractured party with occasional episodes of the \u201cShoot Out at the O.K. Corral.\u201d\u00a0 It seems every member in the national government and in the provinces has his hand out or worse\u2014even putting out contracts on fellow members with whom they serve!<\/span><\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0last fall published an article<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, \u201cHit Men and Power\u201d highlighting that \u201ccorruption and divisions have flourished within the A.N.C. in recent years.\u201d It admits that too many have lost the vision of earlier years and are struggling for \u201cinfluential positions and the spoils that go with them.\u201d Thus far, few of the ANC officials in charge at the national or local levels have been held to account.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the corruption is not only in the ANC but also in every facet of the nation: the schools, local governments, utilities, the mines, the police, the unions, South African Airlines, the rail service, and the banks. Plus, the political corruption in the ANC bleeds into all areas of national and local governments. Everyone seems to demand a bribe to do anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

The corruption is so dissolute, it has nauseated the famed\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0to the point of publishing another scathing article<\/strong><\/span><\/a> almost a year ago headlined, \u201c\u2018They Eat Money\u2019: How Mandela\u2019s Political Heirs Grow Rich Off Corruption.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow, that was the\u00a0Times\u00a0<\/em>of New York City!<\/span><\/p>\n

The article charged, \u201cCorruption has enriched A.N.C. leaders and their business allies\u2014black and white South Africans, as well as foreigners.\u201d The statement is easily verified in the life and administration of former President Jacob Zuma who had climbed into bed with the corrupt Indian Gupta family. The\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0rightly said Zuma\u2019s connection with the shady family, \u201ccontributed to\u00a0the A.N.C.\u2019s recent electoral losses\u00a0and helped lead to\u00a0Mr. Zuma\u2019s ouster\u2026.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Zuma was forced to resign and was replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa who as noted by the\u00a0Times<\/em>, is \u201ca veteran A.N.C. insider, and early signs have not been encouraging.\u201d The article admitted that Ramaphosa has \u201camassed extraordinary wealth\u201d since the presidency of Nelson Mandela.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former President Zuma hopes to take the office back from Ramaphosa in this year\u2019s election to continue his pilfering of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems the seeds of corruption were in the transition from white minority rule to black majority rule under Nelson Mandela. When the transition took place, the Blacks took political power in the national and local governments, but Whites still held the reins of economic power. The biggest burr under the saddle is that most of the arable land belongs to Whites; and Blacks want that burr removed. Hence, the Parliament has voted to take land from white farmers (without compensation) and give it to Blacks. That bit of political thievery has turned the nation into a powder keg as white farmers including children and the elderly have been tortured, raped, and killed by roaming black thugs. As of 2014, four thousand white farmers have already been killed, according to\u00a0The Times<\/em>\u00a0of London.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of the\u00a0New York<\/em>\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0article is old news to South Africans; however, the news is that they are dealing with the news! But more shocking is that they are willing to tarnish the image of Mandela with charges of self-dealing. The\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0admitted, \u201cIn the early years of A.N.C. rule, Mr. Mandela and other top leaders, who had helped defeat apartheid but had no personal savings,\u00a0received houses, vehicles and money from white business\u00a0leaders — essentially bribes, critics say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, the\u00a0Times\u00a0<\/em>is right on target declaring, \u201cAlmost no one comes out of this looking good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mandela is still considered their national hero, but the failure to keep his promise of jobs and homes is a growing, festering boil on the backside of most Blacks. Stating what all South Africans know, the\u00a0Times<\/em>\u00a0declared, \u201cWhile Mr. Mandela is still revered in the West, his legacy is regarded more critically in South Africa,\u00a0especially by some young black people. To them, he sold out the country\u2019s black masses to the white business elite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ace Magashule is now the Secretary-General of the ANC, but he was weaned on early corruption in the Free State province. At the demise of apartheid, he was in charge of economic development in the cabinet of Mosiuoa Lekota the premier of the Free State. The premier said he caught Magashule stealing government money which Magashule denied. The premier fired his underling, but the firing was overruled by the ANC deputy Secretary General, Jacob Zuma, who would become the President and take corruption to a shocking level.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of apartheid, Zuma campaigned\u00a0for<\/em>\u00a0corruption because all the other leaders were getting rich — people like Ramaphosa and others who were on Mandela\u2019s A list. Zuma showed all politicians how to major on sleaze and now faces 16 counts of corruption, money laundering, racketeering and fraud related to a government arms deal in the late 1990s. Plus he has been charged with other corruption accusations including spending $24 million of public money to remodel his private home. With all this facing the former president, he will either go to prison or back to the presidency this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Premier Lekota acknowledged, \u201cZuma did go to some of the other guys and said to them, \u2018This is what Mandela is doing. We must wake up and we must go for the money ourselves\u2019\u201d This is the same Zuma that posters and banners declare, \u201cZuma is like Jesus!\u201d I\u2019m afraid not. Jesus was not a thief.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lekota left the ANC to establish his own party, the Congress of the People, in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n

The nation is in turmoil as election day approaches with assassinations, unrest in the black population, and reports of\u00a0coups<\/em>\u00a0in the works.\u00a0Reuters\u00a0<\/em>reported on September 10, 2018,\u00a0\u201cThe ruling African National Congress (ANC) on Sunday labelled reports that top ANC officials, including former President Jacob Zuma and the party\u2019s secretary-general, were plotting in secret to unseat Cyril Ramaphosa as party leader as \u2018Shameless gossip.\u2019\u201d However, photos have been published with the alleged plotters together at a local hotel; but were they conspiring to oust the President or playing dominoes?<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, President Ramaphosa is busy trying to stay in power and get reelected, but he has so many warring factions inside and outside the ANC, plus the murder for hire of wayward members and multiple acts of sabotage in many major cities.\u00a0Everyone seems to carry guns or has bodyguards — even low-level provincial (state) leaders. If one complains about the shoddy work done on a government project or publicly complains about political corruption, he ends up dead in a few days. Of course, the culpable politicians often attend his funeral and may even weep copious tears.<\/span><\/p>\n

President Ramaphosa pledged to clean out the massive, malodorous mess from South Africa\u2019s \u201cstables\u201d he inherited from former President Zuma, but thus far, he has only added to the pile.<\/span><\/p>\n
